How can I open my lexus 1994 es300 door when it will not open from the outside or the inside?

My driver side door would only open from the inside. I figured that after reading other posts that it had something to do with the linkage or latch behind the panel. I removed the panel and plastic cover to reveal the mechinisms when a sudden rain storm developed. In haste, the door was closed with the panel in tact. Now I am unable to open the door from either side. The panel is shut between and I can no longer remove it. Is there another way to open the door to remove the panel and continue the attempt to fix the problem? I have tried a home made slimjim with no luck.
